We at ICDA had appealed to different agencies and public to support our effort to help affected during this hour of natural calamities. Our request was quickly responded by MuslimAid-UK . After having support from MuslimAid , we could reach to 500 nos. of families, who were in desperate need for external support. We distributed relief materials containing Mosquito net, Tarpaulin, rice, dal, sugar, baby foods and flattened rice. The materials were adequate enough to sustain a family for 7days.
